Projects that contributed to delivering this theme were:

To gain a better understanding of the historic churches across the Marsh and to put them back at the heart of their communities.

 

Sentinels on the Marsh – other activities
To enhance the environments around the churches for wildlife, and to encourage local communities to see and use the buildings as more than a place to worship.

 

Great Tapestry of Romney Marsh
To create a 5-metre tapestry showing the history of Romney Marsh.
